car setup

can any one give me an idea what diff and shock oils to use please     , i wont be able to race this weekend   i'm ill , so i may as well strip the diffs and shocks , but i not sure what to put in them

thanks  
Ashers

Hi Ast all setting are dependent on track conditions but for Colchester I would go with Front diff thicker than the rear on a scale from 1-10 go for the front diff at 8 and the rear diff at 3. With the shocks assuming you are using the standard setup I would go for 30-35 wieght allround hope this helps and I hope you are feeling better soon. Regards Ash

Hello Ast,
I ran 60,000 and 15,000 diff oil today, but found the back end very loose on-power in the damp, so i'll go down a bit for the next run.

40 weight shock oil all round with purple springs (1 softer than standard blue) worked ok.

HTH
